A wall clock for every style
You can never really go wrong with a wall clock. They are practical, they make for wonderful decoration details, and at vidaXL, they are all affordably priced. Let’s look at some of the different styles you can choose for your new wall clock.
-
A timeless design. If you are looking for a wall clock that will easily blend in while also catching the eye of your guests, then opt for a clock with a timeless, classic design. Here, you can opt for neutral colours, such as black, white and grey. These clocks go well in every home, but they especially look stunning in homes with a minimalistic style.
-
A modern design. Perhaps you are looking for a more contemporary, clean design? If so, perhaps a wall clock without numbers is right up your alley. Whether you put it up in your living room, kitchen or bedroom, we are sure it will look amazing.
-
A vintage design. Are you nostalgic for the good old days? Do you love TV shows like Downton Abbey? Then you will love a vintage-styled clock. Perhaps opt for one with Roman numerals to give you a real vintage feel.
These are just some of our designs. You will find many others, which is why we are sure we have a design you will love too. Our wall clocks ensure silent movement, which you will thank us for. While the idea of a slow, rhythmic ticking may seem nostalgic and cosy, the reality is quite different. Just try sleeping to that sound, reading a book or anything else that requires peace and quiet. With our wall clocks, you don’t have that problem. They are silent, making them perfect for any room in your home, including the bedroom.
Add a charming element to your home with a wall clock
Wall clocks may seem like a thing of the past, but at vidaXL, we believe wall clocks are an overlooked piece of décor. Yes, you may be able to tell the time on your phone and smartwatch, but those things can’t give you that classic, charming element to your interior.
There is something special about having an old-fashioned wall clock in your home. The kitchen is especially a popular and handy place to have a wall clock. This way you can easily time your cooking, and it looks beautiful. We recommend getting an oversized wall clock for the kitchen, so you are always able to easily tell the time.
Entrance halls and living rooms are also ideal spots for wall clocks. Here, they will add a beautiful design element, and you can easily check the time when you’re on your way out, or you are watching a movie. You can easily add other design elements, such as mirrors, artwork and plants, for an accomplished and beautiful look.
Explore the different types of clocks
Clocks are by no means a new invention. In fact, the earliest type of clock can be dated back to four thousand years ago. However, the clock has come a long way in the last four thousand years. Today, there are so many different types of clocks, and they have become a decoration element as well as a way to tell the time. Let’s take a look at some of the types of clocks there are on the market today.
-
Analogue clocks. The analogue clock is a popular one, and it is the type of clock most often seen in people’s homes. You can recognise it by the surface with numbers and two to three handles to tell the time. The handles move around the surface of the clock, which enables you to tell the hour, minutes and sometimes even the seconds. Analogue clocks are usually offered in a twelve-hour and twenty-four-hour format.
-
Digital clocks. The digital clock is another popular choice. Here, the numbers are displayed through LCD or LED technology and separated by a colon to indicate the time.
-
Talking clocks. The talking clock is a good choice for anyone with impaired vision, but others will probably love it too.
-
Braille clocks. The braille clock is used for people with impaired vision. This clock has raised dots which can be touched, and thereby the user is able to tell the time.
Which mechanisms are used in clocks today?
While clocks can work with a variety of mechanisms, there are certain mechanisms that are more common than others. Let’s take a look at them here:
-
Electric mechanisms. As the name suggests, these types of clocks primarily run on electricity. This means this type of clock needs to be connected to a power source.
-
Mechanical mechanisms. This type of clock works with a pendulum and a balance wheel. This means there is a constant motion, which enables the hands on the clock to move. Mechanical clocks require quite a bit of maintenance, which is why most homeowners don’t opt for a clock with a mechanical mechanism.
-
Crystal mechanism. The crystal mechanism is considered the most accurate type of mechanism there is. This type of mechanism is resistant to factors that can affect frequencies, such as temperature changes. This mechanism is often used in fine watches.
-
Anatomic mechanism. This mechanism is used in clocks such as the U.S. Naval Observatory Master Clock. The anatomic mechanism is usually not available for most consumers.
-
Radio mechanisms. This mechanism works with transmitters and receives their signals from an anatomic clock. This is a popular mechanism in the USA.
With so many mechanisms in today’s clocks, we are sure that there is a clock that suits you too.
Tips and tricks for buying your new wall clock
As mentioned, we believe that wall clocks are a must-have in every home, whether it’s in the kitchen, office, living room or entrance hall. You will also find wall clocks in most public spaces. Did you know that the first mechanical clock - which is very similar to today’s wall clock - was invented by Peter Heinlein more than five hundred years ago? At first, the design wasn’t widely popular, but during the early 17th century owning a wall clock indicated class and prestige.
Wall clocks are suitable for almost any space and room in any home. But let’s look at a couple of important considerations you need to make before buying your new wall clock:
-
Where is the wall clock going to hang? In the kitchen, entrance hall, living room or office?
-
What is the style and décor of the room where the wall watch is going to hang?
-
What size would you like your new wall clock to be?
-
What colour would you like your wall clock to be?
-
Are you looking for a specific design?
These are just some of the things you may wish to consider before purchasing your new wall clock from vidaXL.
